CONSERVATORY COURTYARD POOL at the NEW YORK BOTANICAL GARDEN

These are two of my photos from my last visit to the New York Botanical Garden to see "Kiku: the Art of the Japanese Chrysanthemum." Dominating the conservatory courtyard pool and serenely floating on the blue water were leaves of Victoria amazonica, the world's largest water lily. The leaves can span several feet.
